Texas Department of Public Safety arrested San Antonio attorney Neil Calfas after a search warrant was executed Wednesday at his downtown law office. Agents with DPS’ Criminal Investigations Division arrived Wednesday morning at Calfas Law Group in the 100 block of Broadway near East Houston Street.
Calfas, 56, is facing solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking charges, a DPS spokesperson said. The office raid placed the arrest at the center of a downtown law practice, not a distant detention site.
Calfas Law Group on Broadway
Calfas Law Group sits in the 100 block of Broadway near East Houston Street, and that is where agents with DPS’ Criminal Investigations Division carried out the warrant. For clients and staff, the immediate change is simple: the office became the site of law enforcement action before the arrest followed.
Wednesday’s sequence matters because the search happened first and the arrest followed after the warrant was executed. In practical terms, that means the warrant had already been signed before agents arrived, and the law office was the location selected for the search.
Bexar County warrant
A Bexar County judge signed the warrant before DPS arrived. That leaves one part of the case outside the public record provided here: what evidence, if any, agents were seeking or recovered during the search.
The charges tied to Calfas are solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking. Those allegations frame the arrest, but the public facts available here stop at the warrant, the office search, and the DPS statement identifying the charges.
Wednesday morning arrest
Erica Hernandez and Nate Kotisso reported the developing story as the arrest unfolded on Wednesday morning. The account centers on a named attorney, a downtown law office, and a warrant that had already been approved before agents moved in.
For now, the record shows a search at Calfas Law Group, an arrest, and a charge list that includes solicitation of prostitution and human trafficking. What prompted the warrant and what came out of the search remain the open issue around the case.
